Thank you for the review on this kayak. I just bought the same one too about a week ago from Academy Sports. I have not had a chance to get it on the water yet but am looking forward to it. I am going to put a fish finder on mine too with a depth meter. Would you be willing to do a short video on how you put your transducer on the bottom of the kayak? How it's mounted? Thank you again for your time in making this review video.
Hi, Thanks for the comment, the Kayak has a plate on the bottom you remove to add the transducer, drop the transducer down the scubber whole that access the transducer mounting location, I wrapped up my extra wire and stuffed it in the scubber whole and ran the needed wire to the unit. I did find I had to leave the plate off the bottom of the boat so the sonar would work properly, when I left the plate on, the sonar would not provide correct information. I'm working with a new camera once I have it figure out I'll try and make a video of the process. Good luck!
From what I can tell, (not having a lot of experience with peddle power) it feels sturdy and robust, maintenance seems to be simple and stait forward. basically wash out the drive after use, particularly if your in a sandy environment.
Seeing it you have been on the water anymore with this kayak and how it’s holding up? Been looking at buying one!
Great review Sir, to the point and without trying to monetize on our time. How do you carry it around the city? trailer or on top of your car?
How do you like it after 3 months?
@Dave KD0AZG, thank you your for this overview of the kayak. Looking forward to more from you on it.

@@windjammer1958 Thank you and good luck with the new camera. I'll be looking out for the video.
Does the pedal mechanism feel pretty sturdy as you use it?
